Removal rate / Sanding performance
The efficiency of an abrasive is largely dependent on the sanding performance, and therefore the removal rate, when calibrating or finishing solid wood and wood-based materials. Premium quality, bluefired aluminium oxide and controlled grit coating have enabled us to increase the removal rate of our 1919 siawood+ by another 20%. Your advantage: The higher sanding performance of 1919 siawood+ shortens your sanding process and increases your productivity.
Clogging / Lifetime
The lifetime of an abrasive is primarily determined by the resistance to clogging when sanding wood – especially resinous softwood. Stateof-the-art, controlled coating technology on the Maker 5 has provided a significant increase in lifetime. Your advantage: The new-generation 1919 siawood+ enables you to sand for up to 30% longer than with the tried-and-tested 1919 siawood – for maximum productivity and process stability!
Sturdiness / Tear resistance
A sanding belt is subjected to especially high stress when calibrating or edge sanding. The more sturdy and resilient the sanding belt, the less likely it is that belt tears and unproductive downtimes will occur. For this reason, we have further strengthened our 1919 siawood+ by approximately 15% in the P36 to P80 grit range. Your advantage: Reduced risk of belt tears and unproductive downtimes thanks to one of the sturdiest paper backings on the market.
